Body off to my Panel Beater for some small mods, eg an access panel like the Boxster, to change fan belt etc.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just purchased a white 914/6 GT (clone) that's been sitting in a shed for 10 years. Car is in terrific condition and has had a number of "modifications" made to it.
It''s been converted to RHD and has the 916 body kit fitted as well. 7's & 8's Fuchs wheels, 930 Turbo hubs,930 Turbo brakes,930 turbo seats,large oil cooler
with RSR catch can, 3.6 (993) RS engine with 915 gearbox. A Wevo side shift kit has been found and purchased in the Netherlands. Last one available until
late 2019. (phew)
As the engine hasn't run for 10 years,it will be removed and fully checked,as will the gearbox.All oil lines will be replaced as will all the fluids.
Some exhaust modifications to be done as well as fitting of new tyres.
Body off to my Panel Beater for some small mods, eg an access panel like the Boxster, to change fan belt etc. Some minor body damage to be repaired, fuel filler
to be installed in the bonnet and ex spoiler holes to be repaired in rear boot lid.
No photos yet,but they will be posted as available.
Should be a fun car!!!
Congrats! Where did you find it? And why Kermit in your thread title- are you going to paint it green?
As a current builder of a 914/6 GT Clone, I am very interested in seeing it when you have photos some
There are a number of 914 owners on the Forum who would also be keen on photos.
Cheers
Craig
Thanks dipstick.
Hi Craig
I have a 1977 Carrera3.0 that i’ve owned since 1985, and it’s Viper Green Metallic in colour.
The 914 is part of a collection of Porsche cars that a mate owns, and decided to downsize a few.
I wil add photos as they become available from this Sunday onwards.
Thanks for the interest.
cheers.
Hi Lee
thanks for the interest. Dipstick has informed me that it’s 3.8, so there’s another .2 of a litre reasons to get busted!!!!!!!
cheers
Ken
Me too! More to come.
Who's this? Zugfuhrer is a good handle!
Yes,it's been a wait,but worth it for sure. Being lucky enough to have a couple of nice standard cars,I thought the opportunity to have a fairly serious Hot Rod,too good to miss.
The current owner is as pleased as me that I have it,he knows that it will be finished off and look as good as the other two. We all win!!!!
Hi Barry
Dennis is delivering the car on Saturday morning to Louie's,so i'm a tad excited about that. I'm really looking forward to the project and feel sure that I have the right people involved in getting it done properly.
I don't half do things and I think that's why Dennis agreed to my purchasing it. He was fairly choosy when selling Don's cars.as I remember.
Cheers Barry
Ken.
Well,a bit more to report on the 914/6 GT Clone,that arrived on Saturday morning. Some misunderstanding of information has seen the engine being a 964,3.6,not 993 RS.
No matter to me,the power will be more than sufficient.
The 930 Turbo seats are electric not manual, and as we won't be connecting the drivers seat to a power source, there is no adjustment backwards/forwards, so we are going manual. i'm looking for ideas as to the type of Porsche seats that will fit into the space properly. I'm 6'1",so need the seat fully extended which was not the case with the previous owner.
I'd really appreciate any ideas that the group may have. Am I better off going original? I've heard that original's aren't so comfy??
Cheers
Ken.
The original seats are OK for me on short drives. But then I'm a lightweightish skinny arse.
Be careful with seat height as the steering wheel is usually quite low on converted cars.
Hi Zugfuhrer
Yesterday saw the removal of the 930 seats,them being swapped back for the originals. As there are no plans for this car to travel any long distance,I've decided that original is best.
The engine & gearbox are out and split and upon examination,all is good. The WEVO side shift kit is standing by ready to be attached.
The advertising stickers have been removed and the body is now at the panel shop for a real good tidy up. As Xmas is upon us,there won't be any movement for 3/4 weeks.
Does anyone out there have a 914 manual that they have finished with,that shows the total car. In fact does one of these actually exist?
As soon as I can coerce the Chief to do it,I will post photo's taken so far. There will be photo's of the entire job until completion.
